Last week, Michael Jackson’s documentary, This Is It, debuted in theaters across the globe.

And while its been months since MJ’s untimely passing, it seems as though he is more popular than ever.

The film grossed 20.7 million over Halloween weekend, but numbers were lower than what Sony anticipated. However, the film still took the number one spot.

In addition, the two week screening of the movie has been extended to Thanksgiving weekend.

The Chairman of Sony Pictures, Jeff Blake, states,

“In just 5 days, Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT has become the highest grossing concert film of all time and we are elated by the response to this special film by fans, critics and moviegoers from all over the world. With this kind of global response, it’s clear that the motion picture deserves an extended run and we are going to do everything we can to make the film available to everyone who wants to see Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT on the big screen.”

This news is music to MJ fans ears….

So if you haven’t seen the film, be sure to check it out..

The longest-running children’s program on US television, Sesame Street, celebrates its 40th anniversary next week and the tributes to this influential kids’ show have begun to spring up.  Just today, Google.com altered its logo to include a pair of orange legs with yellow feathers where the “L” usually is.  Yep, it’s Big Bird’s bottom half on the search engine’s homepage and we can’t wait to see what other websites and Sesame Street fans have in store to celebrate the benchmark.  The actual anniversary will be on November 10th, so there’s still enough time to pick up a costume of Ernie, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, or Kermit the Frog and relive four decades of fun, eductional lessons from public television.  Dressing as your favorite Sesame Street character is a great way to honor a show that has helped shape many of us through childhood.  Here’s to another 40 years from Big Bird and co.!

We are mere days away from the most colorful, creative and frightfully fun time of the year: Halloween!  But before you send your costumed candy-collectors out into the neighborhood on their annual harvest of sweets, study up on safety and consider the following advice.  Always assemble Halloween costumes with care, using only non-flammable materials, and examine the outfit’s length to make certain no fabric or Accessories are dangling or can get tangled up while traveling from door-to-door.  If a Mask is part of the Halloween disguise, be sure to have adequate visibility through the eye holes and that all noises from nearby cars or people can be clearly heard through ear holes.  When approaching an unfamiliar home on the haunted holiday, only knock or ring the doorbell if a porch light is on and the house appears inviting to dressed-up guests.  Avoid barking dogs and dark yards as you make the rounds, adhere to all traffic rules and stop lights when crossing streets and try to travel in groups of 2 or more, keeping a close eye on each other using the buddy system.  Before sampling the treats that kids have been given, parents should inspect the snacks, making sure all the packages are still factory sealed before the long-awaited ripping, tearing and devouring begins.  A little preparedness and planning is all that’s needed for Halloween to go off without a hitch.  Have a blast, scare yourself (and others) silly, but keep your wits about you because while October 31st may only come once a year, like a zombie hungry for brains, it will return before you know it!

Final preparations are in the works to make this Halloween the best one ever.  Decorations are being put up, turning normal residences into sinister Haunted Houses.  Moms and Dads are helping their Kids assemble creative disguises for the big day.  Costume parties this weekend and next are being organized for grown-up guys and girls who want to celebrate with spooky, sexy spirit.  Bowls full of candy set out by the front door are waiting for eager groups of Trick-or-Treaters to come collecting.  We’re overjoyed that the holiday is nearly upon us and for all the last minute shoppers out there, there’s still just enough time to pick an outfit and Accessories for fast shipping right to your door.  Halloween is a week away but the scariest thing we can think of is being without a costume on October 31st – browse our choices and place your order today before it’s too late!

Sure October is the best month of the year…I mean we celebrate Halloween!

However, October also means game time…or should I say Yankee time?

In recent years, the highly popular Yankees have ended their past seasons in disappointment.  With extensive World Series and Championship records, fans were beginning to wonder if these over-paid players were even motivated to execute?

If that was in question at one point….fans are surely singing another tune this month.

The Yankees are on the super high way to the World Series!!…

First stop was Minnesota where the Bronx Bombers swept the series 3-0.  Tonight, they face the L.A. Angels with whom they already lead 3-1.

Should be a good one as the battle of the coasts continues!

Halloween is here before you know it…So make sure to tune in..
